questions about the IllegalArgumentException they're all getting. I suspect
this is not the last we here of this. --DD

Hi Dominique,

I do not understand this issue of unexpanded environment variable in one's CLASSPATH.
How do your colleagues set their CLASSPATH ?
Are they working under Windows or UNIX ?


For me, whatever the operating system, if your profile says :
export CLASSPATH=$APPLICATIONA_HOME/classes:$APPLICATIONB_HOME/classes:$APPLICATIONC_HOME/first_jar


or the equivalent under your operating system, by the time the CLASSPATH environment variable reaches an application it is already expanded.

I do not set CLASSPATH under Windows, but I set PATH with the system applet of the control panel. I set PATH to be %ANT_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin ...
but when I open a shell window, the PATH is already expanded.


How do your colleagues start ant :
- do they start one of the supplied scripts (ant.bat or ant for Unix),
- or do they start ant through an IDE, or somehow through API calls
- or do they start somehow java org.apache.tools.ant ... from the command line ?


Antoine
